Hey guys! ! Sorry it's been a while. I've been revising for some very big important exams which is why this took so long. It'll be two parts and I hope you all enjoy!

Please review :)

Christian's POV

"Are you sure about this? " I asked her, still in shock.
"Course I am. We've talked about having kids don't you remember?" Leila did have a point. I wanted to make sure that I could pass my company down and to give them a good start in life, something I never had.
"Yeah I remember. But are we ready now?" Me and Leila had been married a few years, not exactly happily but that's what I deserve. I'm not pure like my mom and dad. At least she lets me exercise my singular tastes on her, which is more than I could've ever hoped for.
"We're as ready as we'll ever be. Besides it's not like you'd let me be the one to bear our child. Master wouldn't be happy being unable to exercise his desires on me for 9 months." She had a point there as well. I know I'm a Dom but I wouldn't put my own child's welfare at risk. "Plus I'm not interested in stretch marks all over me," she added. I sighed. She could be so superficial sometimes.
"Alright I'll get Welch to do the necessary research on possible surrogates." Leila clapped her hands in glee.
"Thank you master. I'll be ready in your playroom for you in 5 minutes." She started to walk out of my office.
"Oh and Leila," I called out which caused her to instantly stop in her tracks. "Lay off the Black Amex for a bit will you?" She nodded submissively in an attempt to pretend she didn't know what I was talking about and walked out. I'm not stupid I know she's a goldigger but I have plenty of it so I don't really give a fuck. Besides this is why we're having a child. To make sure everything of mine goes to her and she doesn't get a dime.

Ana's POV

"Are you sure about this?" Kate asked me nervously, still in shock. I nodded, still feeling anxious.
"I'm sure Kate. I need this," I tried to reassure her but she still seemed unconvinced. "It'll only be for 9 months and it's not like I'm becoming a hooker or anything. I'm just being a surrogate for a couple that's all. My job is brilliant but it won't pay enough for Dad. This will." Kate stayed silent for what seemed like forever. I really wanted her to support me in this. It would mean so much to me.
"Well at least your sleazeball boss Hyde should lay off for a while..." she says resigned. I put my arms around her enthusiastically.
"Oh Kate thank you! This means so much to me. I'll submit my application now." I grabbed my coat and keys and was heading out the door.
"Would you like me to come with you to drop it off?" Kate offered.
"Can you?" she nodded. "Thank you so much Kate. You're the best friend a girl could have." She grabbed her stuff as well and walked out the door with me. This is the start of a new chapter Ana I thought to myself. My time as a surrogate.

Christian's POV

"Sir here's the list of candidates based on your requirements. I've run extended background checks on each as per your request," said Welch in his usual business-like fashion.
"Thank you Welch. Leave them on my desk." He nodded and placed it neatly in the centre of the table. He is definitely the best in his field. "Can I ask you something Welch?" He seemed surprised but nodded. "Which of these would you pick?" He paused for a short while and then replied,
"Such matters are usually decided on instinct sir as I'm sure you're aware. However, on a purely safety based view, candidate #110927 has the cleanest record."
"Right. Well I trust your professional judgement implicitly Welch and I'll definitely keep that in mind."
"No problem, sir. Is there anything else you'd like?" I shook my head. "Good day sir," he replied and then strode out of my office.

I looked at the several manila folders that were on my desk and found candidate #110927 being at the top of the pile. Her name was Anastasia Rose Steele and her picture was just as beautiful as her name, if not more so. I looked through her background information and Welch was right. The intel on her seemed completely clean whereas the other candidates had a few strikes against them such as parking and/or speeding tickets. Mundane problems of course but I want the best for my child right from the beginning. And I think Miss Steele is the best woman for the job to nurture my child in one of the most important stages of its life. Well my mind's made up. I just have to ask Leila what she thinks but knowing her she won't really care.
"Leila can you come in here for a moment,' I call out from my office. Immediately she comes rushing in with her eyes to the floor like the good little submissive she is.
"Yes sir?" she asked inquisitively. I could tell she was midway through preparing for the scene I was planning to carry out in half an hour's time.
"Here are the files on possible surrogates for us. There's one I like but I wanted your input," I said in a very business-like manner.
"Whatever satisfies the master pleases me," she replied in a mousey voice, her gaze fixed to the floor. She's in full blown submissive mode today. Usually I'd tell her that it's not necessary but it was actually starting to turn me on. A lot.
"Right. Well get ready for our scene in fifteen minutes." I could tell she was surprised at the sudden time change but she knew better not to protest against me. So she nodded and walked out of my office. Time to try out your new toy Grey I thought to myself. But before I could indulge in my fantasies I wrote a quick email to Welch telling him to accept Miss Steele as the surrogate.

Ana's POV

Work was going quite slowly and there was only half an hour to go before I could finally leave so I decided to check my emails. I wasn't expecting there to be anything besides some junk mail but to my surprise there was one from the clinic. At first I thought it was a confirmation of the submission of my application but as I read on I realised that I had been chosen to be a surrogate! They couldn't give me details about who had chosen me as all of this was confidential but they told me to come to the clinic as soon as possible to discuss whether I wanted to accept the request. Now it was just a waiting game until it hit 5 o' clock.

I managed to make it to the clinic by 5:15, so as soon as I signed in I sat in the waiting room feeling impatient.
"Miss Steele for Dr. White?" A woman called out before too long. I stood up and followed her along the hallway to the doctor's office. There was in another woman inside who I assumed was Dr White and she seemed very friendly.
"Hello Miss Steele please take a seat," she said gesturing to the chair. "I understand you're here about the surrogacy request?"
"Yes I am I wasn't expecting one so fast," I admitted.
"Yes it's not often where that happens. I guess you got lucky right?" she said trying to make me feel calmer. "Well the request comes from someone who wishes to remain anonymous. This sometimes happens you see so it's nothing to worry about. They do not wish to keep in contact with you during your pregnancy or afterwards when the baby is born. They also wish you to sign a non-disclosure agreement." I found myself frowning. I did hope that I'd be able to keep in contact in some way but maybe it's for the best. An NDA seemed kind of harsh though, given there was nothing really to disclose. "However, " Dr White continued, probably having noticed my reaction, "They are willing to pay you $200,000 dollars for you to carry their child." I couldn't believe it. $200,000 all for me to give birth to a child? I was hoping for $10,000, maybe $20,000 at the most.
"I'm sorry did you say $200,000?" I asked, just to make sure I heard correctly.
"Yes it is rather a large amount I agree but that's what it says on the form. $100,000 once you accept, and the rest after you've had and given over the child." This would be amazing. Ray needs the money for his health. Now I can give him the best treatment possible. My mind was made up.
"I accept this request," I confirmed, still shocked once the words came out of my mouth. Dr White smiled at me.
"That's marvellous, but why don't you take the paperwork home and bring it back tomorrow? Just so you make sure it's what you want." She was probably right. I wanted to talk to Kate before all of this was settled.
"Thank you Doctor, I shall." She gave me all the information in a manila folder and showed me out. As I was walking out of the clinic I wrote a quick text to Kate, telling her I had big news. I couldn't stop smiling.

"I'm back!" I shouted whilst closing the front door. Kate rushed out to greet me.
"So what's the big news?" That's Kate. Straight to the point as usual.
"Well I was at that clinic just now," I said whilst hanging up my coat.
"Okay and?" she asked, the impatience clear in his voice.
"I've been accepted! I'm going to be a surrogate!" At first she was shocked but then she gave me a big bear hug.
"Oh my gosh Ana! That's amazing! Let's drink some champagne to celebrate while you still can!" I laughed as she went into the kitchen.

So now at begins.
